1.
The Burden of Time The burden of time Can turn on a dime And so can the clouds In the sky Cover the sun And when they’re done Be gone like a speck In the eye Nothing is missing When everything’s gone When the known has flown To parts unknown There is no right or wrong The burden of time Turns on a dime Just like clouds In the sky The rays of the sun Are for everyone No need to wonder why Nothing is missing When everything’s gone When the known has flown To parts unknown There is no right or wrong
2.
Shining Lights Little kids at play Happy with the day They are shining lights That never go away Far above the fray No time for yesterday They are shining lights That never go away Running to and fro Everything to know Following the river Where the river wants to go Always safe and warm Sheltered from the storm They are shining lights That never go away
